We are in the midst of a series of sermon "teaching" messages on the Biblical letter I John. These are a deliberate follow-up to last year's January-to-June series of messages on the Gospel of John.

Brief Review

1. Who John was, what he wrote, his penchant for "L" words

2. I John 1 - Walk in the light; let Jesus be your righteousness
_______________________________________________________

3. I John 2:1-11 Obedience to God and love for humanity - two major "marks" of genuine Christian discipleship
